This is one of the biggest women’s health failures of our time. For decades, countless women were treated with antibiotics for “UTIs” that were actually caused by menopause-related vaginal atrophy.
The result? Antibiotic resistance, chronic infections, and unnecessary suffering.

Sure did.

All those hours logged in the driveway are about to pay off. Some research suggests that active kids may be at lower risk for heart disease as adults. But it’s still important to know your numbers! If you’re 18 or older, get a blood pressure check every year, even if you’re healthy.
